Prayer Verse

Our prayer verse this week is Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

God is a God of hope and He wants us to overflow with hope. I notice that He does this by the power of the Holy Spirit, but I also notice that it begins with our trust in Him. It seems that a consequence of this is we are filled with joy and peace and then what overflows is hope.

I am picturing in my mind a container with joy and peace on the inside and then as it is more that the container will hold and it begins to overflow what comes out is hope.
